Item No: 60326

Behold the Wooden Wonder in Stunning 1/32!

Drawn up as a high speed, unarmed bomber, the twin engine De Havilland Mosquito fulfilled that role and so many more for
the RAF and other Allied air forces during WWII, taking advantage of performance so astonishing it earned the aircraft its
nickname: Wooden Wonder. (That, and the fact it was made largely of wood, in contrast to most of its contemporaries.) The
FB Mk.VI fighter-bomber variant, which first appeared in the skies in Spring 1943, packed a punch with four 7.7mm nose-
mounted machine guns and four powerful 20mm auto-cannons, plus the ability to carry four 500lb bombs. With around 2,700
produced it was the most prolifically manufactured Mosquito variant, and this high performance, multi-role aircraft was
relied on to attack sensitive enemy targets such as SS facilities, V1 flying bomb sites, and munitions factories, taking
advantage of its precision low-altitude bombing skills.
